To tell the truth, I couldn't listen to the version with vocals all the way through, for the same reasons you give. There just wasn't any organic connection between the lyric/vocal and the original music, and there wasn't enough meat in the lyric to see me through that failing. But hey, it was a good thing for Aaron to try, and good for him to post it. He must have done so knowing he might get a negative response. --- http://www.nowhereradio.com/seanholland/singles http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/456/sean_r_holland.html
